The Glass Castle

Angela's Ashes without whimsy. The Walls family lives a nomadic existence, shadowed by debt and the authorities, as the parents pursue their artistic and alcoholic impulses. Naomi Watts and Woody Harrelson commit to the leads, but the film can't decide if it wants to condemn or celebrate its subjects.
